On trying to get into modeling years ago and how it affected her confidence:

It’s such a tough age, you’re developing, your body is going through those changes, you just don’t need that added pressure of worrying about your size. I was a 37 inches and they told me I had to be a 34…

You basically look at your body and you don’t understand why you can’t change the shape and size of it. It consumes you and that’s how it becomes an illness, you look at your body as a set of measurements.

It was very frustrating and you’re trying to fit into the one ideal, they said I was too small [for plus size modelling], that was a trigger to use it as a catalyst, sometimes you have to stop forward and be the representation.

Beauties of Different Shapes and Sizes: 27 year-old Iskra Lawrence and 25 year-old Nina Agdal looked pretty together as they posed in matching swimsuits for a new photo-shoot in Tulum, Mexico this week.

You usually see her in bikinis or lingerie, showing off her famous curves, but last week, Iskra Lawrence was spotted by the paparazzi in a casual outfit: jeans, a button-down and a puffy winter jacket.
